Huo Jiang recently discussed border military issues with the emperor, and there is a small island called Yizhou in the Blue Bird Kingdom, which is the fief of the emperor's younger brother Huangfu Ziquan. It is a fief given by the dead old emperor himself, and Yizhou has beautiful scenery, mountains and rivers are lined up one after another, and there are countless rare birds and beasts.

On weekdays, the emperor and his son all pose as if they have traveled through the mountains and rivers and have no intention of going to politics. But Emperor Zixuan's sensitive nerves were stirred. Huangfu Ziquan has recently had close contacts with the neighboring country Xilinguo, and has transferred a sophisticated army from Xilinguo.

Although Xilin is a small country, it has always been known for its strong military strength, and it can be said that it is an "iron ass" that cannot be underestimated. Why did Huangfu Ziquan suddenly get close to the Xilin Kingdom, which was not very friendly with the Blue Bird Country?

The Emperor felt threatened, at least he did.

And the emperor doesn't like Ziquan, in the eyes of the emperor, Ziquan is a person who has taken away too much of his father's love, and Ziquan has been in Yizhou for a long time. Yizhou is small, the governance is only orderly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they exist like a country separated from the country of blue birds.

The emperor has long wanted to attack the emperor's son, but it is only because of the situation and public opinion. The emperor and his son are all safe and can't find a handle, and they are clever in front of the people.

The emperor was very unhappy, but there was only Huo Jiang in the Blue Bird Country who was a loyal and righteous man who went into battle to kill the enemy and cut through thorns and thorns. The rest are all useless people left over from the previous dynasty. has been doing nothing all his life, living on his ancestors' fortunes and titles, and eating the food of the court to be a useless parasite.

It's just that when the old emperor was in politics, he once did something that was criticized. That is to suppress the loyal and famous generals - Wei Wei. Just because Wei Wei was powerful and the military power was in his hands, the old emperor was selfish at that time, and he listened to the villain's slander, so he took back Wei Wei's military power and copied Wei Wei's family. It is said that Wei Wei eventually drank too much and died violently on the street.

A generation of loyal and good generals was ruined in the hands of the old emperor, so the emperor Zixuan also learned the lessons of the previous generation, reused Huo Jiang, and gave General Huo special treatment everywhere, and General Huo was never pampered and arrogant.

The emperor did not want to see the scene when there was no one in the court and the territory of the country was occupied by the western country. I hope that there will be a few more tiger generals like General Huo.

General Huo said that he and Wei Wei were old comrades-in-arms in the past, and it is said that Wei Wei also has a son alive. The tiger father has no dog son, Huo Jiang misses his old friend, and he has the idea of cultivating and supporting Wei Wei's widowed son.

Huangfu Zixuan stopped, praised it greatly, and immediately ordered Huo Jiang to go to the people to find Wei Wei's widow.

General Huo is going to his hometown today to find the son of his old comrade-in-arms Wei Wei.

After several inquiries, it was learned that Wei Wei's wife opened an inn in Hualiu Lane, and business was booming. At the thought of seeing the old man's wife, Huo Jiang felt a little uncomfortable and guilty, because back then, he didn't help Wei Wei say a word, but was appointed by the old emperor to fight in the border area.

It's just that Jiu Niang is clear in her heart.

Seeing the old man, Zheng Jiuniang not only did not blame Huo Jiang, but was a little happy: "General Huo! What are you doing here? ”

"Mrs. Wei, Huo Jiang is polite."

"What else is your name Mrs. Wei, just call me Jiuniang, I am no longer the general's wife. It's just an ordinary flat-headed common man. ”

"It's better to ask my sister-in-law to be polite."

A sad look flashed in Zheng Jiuniang's eyes, but Huo Jiang didn't notice it. Jiuniang took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions: "It's all right, whatever you call." ”

Turning his head, Huo Jiang saw a bright smile on Zheng Jiuniang's face, just like the same smile more than ten years ago, and recalled many past events for a while, but it was not easy to speak, and he couldn't speak.

"What is the matter with the general's arrival?"

"I'm looking for someone?"

Zheng Jiuniang had already guessed who Huo Jiang was looking for, but she still asked, "Who is the general looking for?" ”

"Wei Wei's widow Jian'an."

Zheng Jian'an's mood has adjusted well in the past few days, and his physical condition seems to be much better. In the past few days, I have been able to grope myself out of bed and go out to bask in the sun.

When Jiu Niang woke up that day, when she went to see him in Jian'an's room, she found that Jian'an had stood up from the bed and walked crookedly for several steps. Surprised, my son is now healed. Zheng Jiuniang was also in a good mood, and rewarded the old ladies of the Narcissus Inn and the delivery room.

Now everyone in Hualiu Lane knows that the proprietress of the Narcissus Inn is in a good mood, but now General Huo came over and said such a thing and came to Jian'an.

Zheng Jiuniang was not in a very good mood.

When her husband joined the army, he was defeated by the old emperor, and in the end, he didn't look like a ghost or a ghost, and died on the street. Zheng Jian'an is the mother's sweetheart, how can he send Jian'an to the devil's cave again?

General Huo didn't say it, but Jiu Niang knew that he meant it.

She is a thousand and ten thousand unwilling.

"Sister-in-law, the tiger father has no dogs, and after Jian'an is cultivated by me, it will definitely be of great use to the imperial court."

That's what Huo Jiang meant, he just wanted to cultivate Jian'an, and then send Jian'an to the military camp and be loyal to the country. Zheng Jiuniang felt distressed when she thought that her baby son's body had just healed and that there was not much of it, so she told Huo Jiang unceremoniously.

"No, please go back."

The tone was cold and indifferent, as cold as frost.

Huo Jiang didn't leave, but just said lightly: "Jiuniang shouldn't plan for her son, you have to ask Jian'an herself." ”

Why, is this still a mother, General Huo said this, Zheng Jiuniang was even more unhappy, just thought about it, it does make sense, what does Jian'an think? How can she, a mother, decide everything for her son casually?

It's just that Jian'an's body, in the army, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream.

Zheng Jiuniang shook her head and said helplessly: "I'll take you to see Jian'an, but there is a sentence I said ahead, Jian'an is not in good health, and if you join the army, I am afraid that there is no such possibility." ”

Huo Jiang is confident, he knows Jian'an, he has a deep understanding of him since he was a child, Jian'an and his father Wei Wei are exactly the same person, father and son, two generations of inheritance, can not be cut off a strong bloodline.

Jian'an had seen Huo Jiang when he didn't remember, and now Huo Jiang's face was completely unfamiliar in Zheng Jian'an's eyes. But he knows General Huo's name, who doesn't know the Blue Bird Country? Who doesn't know?

Jian'an stood on the edge of the bed and moved his body, and now he could walk normally with a crutch for a certain distance.

When Huo Jiang came in, he happened to see Jian'an exercising. Zheng Jian'an, as a young man, was a little embarrassed when he saw a chic and sturdy man come in. He didn't know what to do, and his face was red.

Zheng Jiuniang saw that her son was exercising, and she couldn't help but sigh that her son had changed greatly, and she was much relieved.

"Jian'an, this is your Uncle Huo."

"Uncle Huo is good...... Uncle Huo? Which Uncle Huo? ”

"General Huo, your father's comrade-in-arms." Jiuniang replied to her son.

Zheng Jian'an listened and carefully looked at Huo Jiang's dressing system, although he was not wearing armor, but he could also see General Huo's bearing, as well as the tall body, broad shoulders, and strong muscles under the clothes. Jian'an has made you envious, but also a little inferior.

It turns out that this is Uncle Huo, my father's comrade-in-arms, General Huo.

General Huo was concise and straightforward: "The monarch of the previous dynasty was afraid that General Wei Wei would be wise and powerful, and after using General Wei, he would abandon him like a wasted son, my righteous nephew Jian'an, would like to follow me into the camp and be ashamed of your father General Wei!" ”

Jian'an decided that Huo Jiang was joking, he was a waste man who couldn't walk normally not long ago, but now he is going to join the camp as an army?

"Uncle Huo, I can't. You'd better find someone else, and you don't have to spend any more time on me. ”

"I've always believed in my own vision and I don't think I could be wrong. After inquiring, Jian'an, your disease is not difficult to cure, as long as you have faith, I will definitely be able to help you Tengda. ”

Help me Tengda? Although it is an unattainable thing, Jian'an still thinks about it for a while, if he can really Tengda, he will become the elite of the country and the pillar of the country. Will you be able to marry your beloved woman, Huangfu Shujue? It has long been in history, the combination of the general and the county lord, that is a good story for the ages.

But he just thought about it for a while, and Jian'an told General Huo that he needed to think about it. Huo Jiang didn't force Jian'an, but just said that he would come back the next day.

Jiuniang noticed the change in her son and felt that Jian'an seemed to be shaken. wanted to know the reason, so he asked his son Jian'an to the bottom of it.

Zheng Jian'an has never hidden things from his mother.

"I like Huangfu Shujue. I want to marry her, but I'm just a normal person. ”

Shu Jue, Jiu Niang remembered, but when Sun Shangyu took Shu Jue to the inn, she said that Shu Jue was her niece. The surname is Huangfu, and she is the niece of the palace concubine, not a princess but also the county lord, how can such a woman be Zheng Jian'an's delusional thoughts?

It was the first time for Jiuniang to speak to her son Jian'an so seriously: "Son, the toad wants to eat swan meat?" It's not your mother who hit you, don't you know what kind of woman she is? Mother, I'm afraid you'll hit your head and bleed. ”

"I love her, and I won't marry her."

Zheng Jiuniang was helpless, she couldn't convince her son, so she could only keep sighing. Jian'an is still more like his father, and the things he believes will never change.

On the second day, General Huo visited again as agreed.

Zheng Jian'an said that he had made up his mind and was willing to follow the general, enlist in the battalion, and display his ambitions.

The tone is categorical, not like a joke. Huo Jiang looked at Zheng Jian'an solemnly, and the two paid homage to each other, as if they were making some kind of covenant.

Zheng Jian'an really seems to have a little shadow of a marching man?

After General Huo saw the Zheng family, he walked down the small aisle in Hualiu Lane and saw a young couple laughing, the wife teasing the husband, and the husband followed his wife to bully him, so it was not sweet.

And the woman who teased her husband was born very much like a person, and the general had some affection for this woman for no reason. Who does it look like?

It seems to be the noble lady Sun Shangyu, the general didn't dare to think about it anymore when he thought of this, shook his head violently, got on his horse and galloped away.
